Telemedicina en el seguimiento de enfermedades crónicas: Diabetes Mellitus Revisión Sistemática de Literatura y Evaluación Económica Telemedicine for monitoring of chronic diseases: Diabetes mellitus. Executive abstract.
Executive abstract Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic non-transmissible disease of which its prevalence has notably incremented, and it is the most common severe metabolic alteration among the population. In general, it is stated that, in chronic pathologies, the patient should play an active role in controlling his/her disease, since there is evidence regarding improvement of his/her health condition, increase in his/her satisfaction, and decrease in the use of mental health services when there is active roles emerges. In the last 10 years, we have been able to check that new technologies can help professionals and diabetic patients very much. On the one hand, it does so by allowing greater and more comprehensive control over glycemic levels, improving self-management of the pathology and, on the other hand, it can also contribute in the educational level due to its coverage and accessibility to information. For this reason, a review was conducted on scientific evidence as regards to applying information and communication technologies (ICT) in the DM field. Objective: The main objective of the present review is to know whether the use of ITC in Medicine can improve effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction aspects in DM patients metabolic control. Moreover, two specific aims have been included: one of them concerns educational aspects, and the other one deals with the possibility to early detect diabetic retinopathy through teleophthalmology techniques both of them due to the importance they get in this pathology. Methods: The methodology follows the traditional scheme for a Systematic Literature Review. We have raised the research questions; defined the exclusion and inclusion criteria; posed the search strategies, the way to retrieve the papers, and assess them to extract the information needed. After obtaining the information from the search, we have presented them in the way of numerical algorithm, a quantitative summary was done and, finally, a synthesis of the evidence which has been grouped together according to the research question. Finally the conclusions and impacts have been drafted both for the clinical practice and for the research, not without first discussing some of the most relevant aspects, according to the authors, on the applications of telemedicine to diabetes management.

Conclusions: The conclusions are highlighted in the following paragraphs: 1. Concerning the effectiveness and combining all the measure groups, there can be said that telemedicine applied to monitoring diabetic patients is effective with an evidence of high quality. 2. With a level of evidence from high to mid, we can state that telemedicine is efficient for glycemic control of patients. 3. With high quality evidence, there can be said that telemedicine systems for metabolic control reach high satisfaction level for users. 4. Considering sensitivity, specificity aspects, there can be affirmed that telemedicine techniques get results very similar to those from traditional techniques with high level of evidence. Taking into account other aspects such as the number of adjustable images, satisfaction, transmission time and costs, we can say that telemedicine is appropriate for the early diagnosis of RD with a low level of evidence. 5. From the economic assessment carried out in a parallel way to the present review, there can be enhanced the conclusion, which deals with the decrease in the cost of detection tests of diabetic retinopathy using telemedicine. However, the effectiveness is slightly lower to that of traditional system. We recommend healthcare institutions to have the necessary infrastructure to provide diabetic patients with the information and communication technologies in Medicine manage their condition. For the research, we recommend studies with qualitative methodology to investigate the best way to implement the technology into healthcare organizations. Know the factors that affect professionals, users and institutions as well as the best way to handle the factors with the purpose of resulting in the efficient use of the technology. 20 INFORMES, ESTUDIOS E INVESTIGACIÓN
